14 May 1997
Greetings to One and All,
We have a lot of new cuzins joining us this time. Also, we've
heard from some folks that haven't written to us in a while.
It's always nice to hear from new folks, but we treasure those
cuzins who pop in from time to time to share their research.
It's always exciting when someone is willing to share their
concerns about published information that doesn't seems to be
correct. I trust that this group would point out any obvious
errors that I might contribute. I think our Spirit of Family
helps us work together in our research efforts.
Will you please make a note of my change in eMail address:
NCreed1@aol.com.
You can start using this eMail address now as I will have access
to NCreed@erols.com for less than a month longer. I will
be disconnected since I am relocating with my job to San Diego.
My daughter will be able to forward any of my eMails sent to AOL
since she has AOL. I will probably go with AOL when I get to San
Diego, unless someone recommends a local inexpensive server that
has a genealogy forum as good as AOL's.
I will be leaving here about 10 June. I will start work on 24
June. If you see me driving through your neighborhood, wave to
me since I'll probably be lost.

From: Evelyn Alexander
Subject: Ross/Turner
Nyla,
I am concerned with some seemingly misleading information that is
out there, even in the Mormon archives, and on the latest Family
Tree world wide pedigrees, that I believe to be probable
misinformation.
We have exchanged information before on the James Turner lineage,
and on the Shadrach line. My Jubal Turner was the youngest son
of Admire Turner. The information I believe is probably wrong
(no proof as yet) is the parents of Jubal's wife Milly Ross,
supposedly the John Ross and wife Nancy of Adair Co., KY. I now
believe (no proof as yet) that her parents are actually the John
Ross of Franklin Co., VA, who died in Bedford Co., VA, who was
the father of Sutherland Ross, and that she was probably a sister
of Sutherland. Sutherland is the person who was surety for Milly
when she married Jubal.
I have never been comfortable with the family in Adair Co., KY.
His children all (except Milly?) were born in NC. Possibly
there are two Milly Ross's, born a year apart?
This is the information I feel is possibly correct:
John Ross, b. ca 1770 Scotland, d. 1823, Bedford Co., VA., he
married ca 1790 Bedford Co., VA Relender Baswell. I have only
one child for him, and that is Sutherland Ross. He very probably
had others, possibly female children that were never listed.
Sutherland Ross, b. ca 1793 Franklin Co., VA, d. 9 May 1870,
Franklin Co., VA, married Docia Turner/Farmer, ca 1819, Children:
(1) Robert Venable Ross, b. ca 1820, Franklin Co., VA; (2) Emily
Ross, b. ca 1822, Franklin Co., VA, married 6 Nov 1837, Franklin
Co., VA, Ludwick Boon; (3) James H. Ross, b. ca 1824, Franklin
Co., VA.
I now believe it is possible that Milly (Mildred or Emily?) is a
sister to Sutherland Ross. Sutherland Ross was born the same
year 1793, as Jubal Turner, they knew each other, or knew of each
other. Milly was born 1797 (taken from her tombstone).
The Milly Ross listed as a daughter of John Ross of Adair Co.,
KY, was born 1796. In Salt Lake there are (or were in 1989) 2
group sheets showing the same parents, John and Nancy (?) Ross of
KY, for Milly, in one she is married to Jubal Turner, in the
other she is married to John Ross, and the marriage date was the
same as Jubal and Milly's marriage date. Milly who married Jubal
Turner is supposed to have been born in Virginia. All of the
John Ross of Adair Co., KY children are supposed to have been
born in NC, except for Milly? I have never been comfortable with
this information, and now believe it is wrong.
What I have, (not proved) so far, and am trying hard to connect
is:
Admire Turner and Sally Turner as parents of Jubal Franklin
Turner. John Ross and Relender Baswell, as parents of Milly
Ross.
Jubal Franklin Turner, b. 2 Oct 1793, Bedford Co., VA, d. 18 Sep
1862, Monroe Co., IA; married 16 May 1818, Franklin Co., VA,
Millie Ross, Sutherland Ross, surety. Children:
1. John S. Turner,
2. Robert L. Turner, b. 1 Mar 1818, Franklin Co., VA, d. 10 Nov
1862, Keokuk, IA, (Civil War); m. ca 1858, Franklin Co., VA
Minerva Johnson.
Children:
(1) Mary S. Turner, b. 1859, Monroe Co. IA, d. 21 Mar 1864,
Monroe Co., IA.
(2) Robert L. Turner, Jr., b. ca 1862, Monroe Co., IA, m. 17
Oct 1882, Monroe Co., IA, Iva Collins.
3. Whitfield Ross Turner, b. 29 Apr 1819, Henry Co., VA, d. 11
Apr 1880, Monroe Co., IA, m. 12 Jan 1853, Franklin Co., VA,
Martha Jane King, b. 5 Dec 1830, Lynchburg, VA, d. 18 Apr 1920,
Plano, Appanoose Co., IA. This couple's second child (Elizabeth)
was born 1854 in Adair Co., KY, where the entire family of
emigrants stayed for a period of time, arriving in Monroe Co., IA
about 1855.
Children:
(1) Amanda Ellen Turner, b. 23 Oct 1853, Franklin Co., VA,
d. 14 Sep 1908 (of TB), Centerville, Appanoose Co., IA, married
30 Dec 1881, Monroe Co., IA, James Marion Cate,
(2) Elizabeth K. Turner, b. 6 Oct 1854, Adair Co., KY, d. 30
Jan 1885, Cedar Mines, Monroe Co., IA, m. 31 Dec 1877, Albia,
Monroe Co., IA, Thomas F. Watkins.
(3) George Whitfield Turner, Sr. b. 6 Feb 1857, monroe Co.,
IA, d. 30 Sep 1895, Pottawatomie Co., OK, (shooting accident,
three months before my father, George Whitfield Turner, Jr. was
born), m. 1 Nov 1891, Appanoose Co., IA, Della May Stevens,
(these are my grandparents).
(4) Greenville E. Turner, b. 29 May 1860, Monroe Co., IA, d.
Aug 1860, Monroe Co., IA (wonder where the name Greenville came
from? He is buried next to Jubal and Milly in the Lemaster
Cemetery, Monroe Co., IA).
(5) Zeriah Turner, b. 1862, Monroe Co., IA, d. 1 Mar 1891,
Monroe Co., IA, never married.
(6) Allen C. Turner, b. ca 1864, Monroe Co., IA,
(7) Octavia 'Tave' Turner, b. 13 Sep 1868, Moravia Appanoose
Co., IA, d. aft 1955, m. 9 Jun 1891, Hague Augustus Stevens, Sr.
(divorced), married 2, Fremont S. McPherson.
(8) Martha Turner, b. aft 1870, Monroe Co., IA, d. 27 Apr
1872, Monroe Co., IA.
4. Jeffrey C. Turner, b. ca 1819, Henry Co., VA, m. 7 Dec 1839,
Franklin Co., VA. Nancy A. Mason.
5. Nancy E. Turner, b. ca 1820, Henry Co., VA, m. 3 Nov 1859,
Thomas Barker.
6. Washington Turner, b. ca 1823, Franklin Co., VA, d. 1889,
Newton Co., MO; married 1, 25 Nov 1845, Franklin Co., Eve
Brubaker; married 2, ca 1863, Judith -----,
Children:
(1) Mary Turner, b. 18 Oct 1846, Franklin Co., VA, d. 1876,
m. Mike Montgomery.
(2) Owen Turner, b. 25 Dec 1849, Franklin Co., VA, d. 18 Feb
1934, m. 19 Oct 1873, Cinderilla Hopping.
(3) Joel Turner, b. 15 Dec 1851, Franklin Co., VA.
(4) Benjamin Turner, b. Jan 1853, Franklin Co., VA.
(5) Nancy Turner, b. 1855, d. 1875.
(6) Daniel Turner, b. 1859, d. 1875.
(7) Christian Turner, b. 1862, d. 1862.
7. Richard H. Turner, b. ca 1825, Franklin Co., VA, d. 22 Oct
1871, Franklin Co., KS.
I would sure appreciate any information that might help untangle
the problem of Milly's parents. This family has been a difficult
one to track. I have tried for years, and just this year found a
descendant of Washington Turner, and a descendant of Sutherland
Ross. There are other children of Jubal and Milly that I still
don't much information for.
Happy Hunting,

To all on this list: I made a faux pax (sp) when I sent a note
re Penny's posting on the Joseph Brown Turner Collection, it was
exciting to see names that are the same as those in my northern
Turner line. I put the word not in my sentence and that really
was a zinger. I sent a note to Penny that I was not questioning
her source, I had not read what I typed. Nothing like eating
humble pie, but I would not question someone like that
intentionally. I had that happen to me and it hurt. I had
shared some family information on Prodigy and some family sheets
that were given to me without dates or sources and it was aired
on Prodigy Genealogy Board and I was not a happy camper! Before
I sent the information I had explained to this person that I did
not have sources and could not vouch for the data although it was
provided to me in good faith, and I in turn was trying to help.
Made me feel like a heel.... I lost a good friend because of it
from VT. So in no way would I question Penny, it was wonderful
of her to share it. So much for not reading stuff.
Nyla: do you have the address where this collection is located?

Nyla,
Hi. I have enjoyed reading the amazing amount of information
regarding the Burnett & Turner lines. I believe you and I share
several ancestors although my line is descended from Jeremiah,
Sr. > Roland > Elizabeth Burnett who married Silas R. Christal
(my g-grandparents). I originally had done a search for Burnetts
through Family Tree Maker On-Line (my genealogy program) and this
lead me to you and Chris Gaunt.
A distant Christal cousin recently sent me information on the
Burnett line as we share Jeremiah, Sr. also. His Burnett line is
from Jeremiah, Sr.> Jeremiah, Jr.> Samuel> Capt. Jeremiah> Mary
Ann Burnett. His Turner line is from Shadrack> William> John>
George Washington> Nancy Turner> Mary Ann Burnett. Mary Ann
Burnett married Silas Granville Christal, son of Silas
R. Christal. The Burnett ancestor chart was compiled by June
Bork who I see mentioned several times in your mailings. The
Turner information was by James D. Turner.
I hope there will be some Christal researchers joining too as
this family goes back to VA, TN, & MO also and intermarries
several times with the Burnetts. Silas R. & Elizabeth Burnett
Christal came to Denton Co., TX (Wise Co. before boundaries
changed) near town of Stony, 14 miles west of City of Denton
about 1853 from Macon Co. MO. Several other families of
Burnetts also came to TX and settled in nearby areas.
Both Elizabeth and Silas are buried in Eakins Cemetery, Ponder,
Denton Co., TX. They can be found on my cemetery webpage that
has several Christals and related families listed at
(http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/6448/EakinsCem.html). Also
Christal outline chart through six generations at
(http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Lofts/6448/chrisoutline.html) for
anyone intereste in the Christal-Burnett line.
Funny thing, I have a Solomon Ingram on my father's side.
Solomon married Elizabeth C. Paine. Very similar to your info,
but my Solomon Ingram was born in GA, May 24, 1826. Wouldn't
that be wild to have that connection too?

Nyla;
I am trying to help a Civil War researcher that is in possession
of some letters from the Civil War find long lost relatives. He
would dearly love to find out the fate of the family involved.
There is a hand written letter from James D. TURNER, who was a
chaplain in the 4th Penn Regt, to his wife Callie (Caroline
TURNER). He thinks the family had settled around Cannonsburgh,
PA at the time of James death around June 24, 1864. Apparently
he died during the war because the following children are listed
in his wife's pension file. Joseph B. TURNER, born July 30, 1853
Clara M. TURNER born December 4, 1855. Harry I or L TURNER born
February 26, 1858.
I would appreciate anyone's input in helping the gentleman,
please contact me.

Subject: Samuel Packwood Letter
Nyla,
This is the letter I mentioned that was written by Samuel
Packwood who was married to Elizabeth Turner who was a daughter
of Shadrack Turner Senior and Ann (Hill) Turner.
The Samuel Packwood Letter
Published in May 1911-by The Argus, Greenfield Ill.
"The following letter was written just one hundred years ago
today. The writer, Samuel Packwood, was the grandfather of
Daniel Smith, who was one of the well known characters of the
Waller neighborhood in years gone by. Two of Daniel Smith's
children are still living in that locality, they being
Sallie M. Smith and Robert A. Smith. The letter is one of the
family heirlooms and has been in the possession of Mrs. Sallie M.
Smith for many years. It was written from Town Creek in Henry
County, Virginia, the letter bearing no envelope, being folded
and sealed with red sealing wax. The address thereon was as
follows:
"To Mr. John Smith living in the state of Kentucky in
Cumberland County near the mouth of mud camp favoured by Mr.
gearhart."
The letter is in a fair state of preservation and is highly
prized by the family. We have followed the style of the writher
as to spelling, capitalization and puctuation. It is merely a
family letter, its age being of greatest interest to our
readers:"
"May 5, 1811"
"Loving son and Daughter these few lines comes to let you

god for his mercys hoping these few lines will find you and your

In the book Meshack Turner 111- His Wife - Sarah Robey
Tucker, the author, Lucille R. Maddox, who saw a copy of this
letter but chose not topublish it, does clarify the various names
mentioned in the letter. This letter was sent to his (Samuel
Packwoods) "daughter and son-inlaw, Rachel Packwood Smith and her
husband, John Smith, who had recently taken up leased land in
Cumberland County, Kentucky." He refers to "Jacob Prilaman a
neighbor and Thomas Stone. Relatives of both of these men
intermarried the decendants of Shadrack Turner Senior " He
speaks of his grandchildren, Nancy, Samuel, Daniel, and Steven
Smith.....of his wife Elizabeth...his mother-in-law, Mother
Turner (Ann) " and of his wife Elizabeth's brother Larkin Turner
who is then residing in Cumberland County, Kentucky near Samuel
Packwood's daughter Rachel and her husband John Smith.

I did all that typing and forgot to sign my name to it! Please
add it to my message. Thanks! Sherry Also according The
Turner compilation part 1 of 12, when Samuel Packwood mentions
Elisha, Nancy, Edith, and Elasabeth, he is talking about some of
Rachels' brothers and sisters. Hope this makes sense :)

SHERRY, How wonderful to have the Packwood letter. Thank you for

Hello again, Nyla,
I just had to stop back by to tell you that I visited the site
and am absolutely "OVERWHELMED." This is fabulous. Too bad it
is so late in the evening and I must work tomorrow, but I can
hardly wait to get back and do some "digging."
Many thanks, and I will try to contribute "something."

Subject: Re: A forwarded message / wants to join the list
Nyla: Are you the one that is telling everyone about our list?
The amount of new interest certainly has increased over the past
few days. I see you on Roots-L from time to time.
Eunice: I get a lot of mail on those surnames, I send them all
to you because the more we have on the list, the more info there
is to share. I know that I seldom post anything, but I save all
of the digests and now and then, I can pull one up and help
someone out.
Nyla: Can you believe the amount of information that the
"cuzins" have shared on our list?
Eunice: Isn't it something?!! I have gotten so much out of it,
added it into my data base and, of course it goes into the
computer at the Bassett Library, and I do printouts for the
Patrick County Historical Society. There was quite a stir when I
added the Goode files. Virginia said that she's made a lot of
copies for folks. Virgil is our Rep now, so the Goode family is
very popular.
Aren't YOU proud of the way your list has taken off? Just think
how much it has accomplished in bringing folks together. There
is a real sense of family there.
Nyla:
I had hoped that Janet Cox would come to VA to see me; but now
that I am on my way to San Diego, CA, I guess I won't make that
trip to SW VA to see whereour ancestors called home.
Eunice: Maybe you can make it down here another time? Are you
moving out there permanently? Whatever, have a good trip! Take
care...
==================================================
NYLA: Eunice and All, I always think of this as "our" list. It
is all of us working together that has made our list work so
well.
I glad to know that Eunice is contributing information to the
Bassett Library and doing printouts for the P.C.H.S.
